Minor update

There should be a new build avaiable on Drengin.net now. It has the minor races tweaked down and some random events and a number of bug fixes.

Hmm. Quartz is the music engine.

I wonder how many people are getting that.

Can you do me a favor and play with the sound off. I'm curious as to whether that would solve problems.

I just got a message that the Yor surrendered to the Yor. The symbol on all their systems was an insectoid thing (space monster, I'm assuming?).

The pirates are causing a crash. Fixed internally. Can't create ships in a thread.

There seems to be confusion among the AIs and minor races--I was being attacked by the Arcaens, but a minor race helping me kept calling them pirates (before any pirate notices appeared). Later under the minor races tab I could see the Alterian's logo. Clicking on it crashed to desktop.

Hmmm, and after the Tor surrendered, a minor race took their name (probably a scorpion-looked like a shrimp on a plate against a star :) ). The minor races tab reported all minor races dead even though those shrimp guys were everywhere.

The stuck view after turn bug is still around (when you attempt to change what portion of the map you are viewing it snaps back after you let go of the mouse). Also, after being given some ships by one race after having war declared on me by another, the "find" button didn't find them, even after a couple of turns. If I could find them on the map or the ship list, I could select them just fine.

Brad,
the minors still start with about 5000 cash. This gives them a major starting boost.

On the other hand minor races will trade cash for technology so having them start with 5000 in cash may not be a bad thing.

The unreachable resource bug is still in this one. To simulate it, fake up a map with lots of resources locally. Only build constructors and use them to build on these resources. After the militarily superior races attack you and destroy your starbases, try to rebuild on those resources. At least one or two are almost guaranteed to be unreachable.

The Alexians colonizes faster then every major race in my game and also colonize systems outside theyr home sector. :VOMIT:

I thought minor races are limited to theyr home sector???? >:(

How can I edit the game so that this special Minor Race race isnt in the game?

Branden AI is kicking my butt :) I think someone surrendered to him and he is just turning out battleship after battleship attacking me. He also has about half the map and likes to attack/invade my planets.

On 2 of my computers (Both with XP and soundblaster cards, one live and one audigy) the sound screws up when on the build screens. Lots of beeps and such. On my notebook (integrated sound) it works fine.
